Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 stars and great price

I bought one of these for me and my wife before our recent trip to Hawaii. We've used them both as carry-ons on the plane and on some of our extreme day trips on Maui and Kauai. This was our first time using a hydration pack and I have to say it did everything I wanted it to and worked like a charm. Here are some thoughts. I saw someone say there is no hose hole but yes there are two, one on each side near the shoulders. Pass the tubing through the hole on the strap next to the loop, then attach the C-clip. There is a slight plastic taste coming out of the bubble at first, but not bad at all. To the second water circle. passed. Having 2.5 liters of water on your back and sipping right there in the hot sun was very nice and it was pretty damn cool to carry water bottles. Lots of little storage space, mesh pockets on the sides and zips, seems to be of good quality. My only minor gripe is that the buckles used look like they could break easily if you put the plastic pins in the wrong way round, but they held up well and I was just trying to be careful before snapping them into place. I bought this, orange, and ordered a pack with a different name in blue for my wife. I can tell you it's the same package just with a different name. This is a great package, especially for the price.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
